There are no cardboard boxes or bubble wrap or heavy duty packing tape in Tim Stokes' 1,600-square-foot Sacramento, Calif., home. But, according to the 36-year-old, he and his pregnant wife, their three kids and their two 100-pound mastiffs are on the verge of selling the house they bought just over a year ago.
Though Stokes was born in Nevada, he has spent all but the first six months of his life in California. For most of that time, any move away from his hometown and family would have been unthinkable for him. But in the past six years, Stokes, who is a Republican, said the political climate and the seemingly unstoppable swing further to the left in California have become unbearable.

Time to use Harvey to deport the illegals. “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
In truth, Texas would probably make a better sovereign nation that California. Texit?
Building the Trump Wall will do wonders at reducing the number of Democrat voters, who shouldn’t be voting because they are ILLEGAL.
Austin is becoming a liberal cesspool due to all the non-academic silly walk departments at U.T.
Dallas is becoming Austinized.
My family lived in CA from 1967-88. I had a similar reaction in 1988, only it felt more like a suffocating wall of regulations closing in around me. We were empty nesters by then so it was easy. Went into programmer contracting and bailed the same year. Never looked back.
Some years back, we visited relatives in Oceanside. Still had that suffocating feeling. Gazillion people milling about the Carlsbad mall and it looked like a Third World bazaar with a babble of foreign tongues. Relatives keep asking why we don't come back, I tell 'em why and they get upset. They think everything is fine and always bring up the weather. We don't DARE talk politics.
Not exactly true. Those transplanted Kalifornican “conservatives” are bringing their liberal ideas to Texas and changing the political environment and raising property taxes.
The more conservatives flock to Texas will only confirm, “Don’t mess with Texas”.
We need more states like Texas. Too bad some of those conservatives missed stopping in Minnesota, they could use a lot of conservatives there. Getting to be a muslim and liberal foothold that won’t be easy to resolve.
Conservative Californians are welcome here, but I resent like hell when California Democrats flee the hell hole that their state has become only to vote for the same left wing policies here.
Caliphony’s taxes are unsustainanle and with vote fraud conservative voters are disenfrancised there.
Even when the people pass a measure like prop 8 the corrupt AF governor and courts deny the duties of office and refuse to represent the voters at the supreme court level.
The weather in Algiers, Beirut and Latakia is similar to that of California, but for some reason, no one is moving to those places.
I fled CA for N. Texas about 6 yrs ago, and the people I’ve come to know here made me feel very welcome.
I’m very proud to call myself a Texan now; dropped the “former Californian” thing a couple years ago.
LMAO
Yep!

Don’t forget Mogadishu.
Progressives are like the Borg.
Re RED!
Retired, Extreme, Deplorable—AMERICAN/NOT AINO!

I’m cautious here. Everywhere else Californians flood in, they soon look around and start electing democrats for social reasons. Colorado and Arizona to name two, etc.
Texas don’t have room for California thinking...none.
